Get Dola back on the road: my motorbike repair fund
Dola's my motorbike is Dola's only source of income and needs a radiator and cooling system replacement costing $150.
🇧🇩 Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh1,332 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $150. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $150 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $65
• Labor charges: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $35
• Towing and inspection: $35
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dola.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. radiator and cooling system replacement (parts) comes first ($65) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. All the best
Hope it all works out, Dola. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Dhaka
shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Rochester.
